50D Raw video

[goldenchild9to5]

With June 9th build, I could "only" do 1920x818 (2.35:1). 1920x872 is with the current June 11th build. In 1x mode, I could easily do 1582x1056 with all builds so far.

Just grab it on the first page of this thread.

is 1920x818 (2.35:1) also in 1X mode? You mean 1:1 mode right..

1920x818 in 5x zoom (aka 1:1) mode, full sensor area (1584x1056) in 1x zoom, (3:1) mode.

Awesome speed with Gregory's new build. I'm getting around 69mb/s at 25fps 1584x892!

Global draw on with just raw histogram.

Thanks Gregory

I think my early first dream could become a reality.......is it possible to get 2K in 5x zoom?

Finally the quality of lenses matters! Going to choose the best wide lenses possible to be able to shoot in 5x mode...

Hey guys. I'm still struggeling to achieve acceptable speeds in raw Video mode. My Benchmarks dont differ that much from the Komputerbay cards but I'm just achieving ~50 MB/s in video mode. I changed all my settings to the recommended. What am I doing wrong? Im using a Transcend 16GB 1000X Card

Hey Guys I did some tests today with the 8 of June build, I am getting magenta pictures out, I am using rawnizer 5.3
Is there a setting to set somewhere to lock black point or is this issue caused by a old build of raw2dng?

[eattheblinds]

update: my new card reader reads the komputerbay card just fine on my MBP.  sorry for the delay with the update but i've been in the field shooting.

regarding issues i'm having getting my komputerbay card to read on my mac:

Hello,

The card is possibly corrupted.

From what we know the 50D is limited to FAT32 but your Mac is not. (your Mac possibly tried to read the card as exFAT instead of FAT32 seeing that it is a 64GB card - lot of customers have done this.)

It can be uncorrupted using a PC using SD Formatter's free software to format the cards. The Mac version has some bugs and as such we donot recommend it.

Also - we do not know if the bower USB2.0 CF Reader #CRCF is compatibnle with UDMA 7 cards.

Have you tried any formatting apps on your Mac?

Thank You

Still having problems with that card.. it has to be something simple.  What version of Gregory's build are you using currently?  are you using window's or mac?

Im using a Windows PC and the 70 MB/s build of Gregory.

Are you formating the card in camera?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the Transcend 1000x 16gb card is actually slow. The 600x version beats it for write speed by 20-30MB/s. The 1000x Transcend cards only becomes 'fast' when you use the 32GB or 64GB. Check out the specs and compare the cards on the Transcend site and you'll see what I mean.

hi dacssfreak,
i got the same card a few days ago and have the same problems.
read in this forum, the 16gb 1000x is actually as slow as the 600x one.
maybe the 32gb and up are better.
(yes, same info like andy600, have been too slow)

here is a benchmarktest for those who are interested:

@goldenchil9to5
thank you very much for the help, how could i send you a file?
on justshareit you need a email adress.
i will try to reinstall ml with the right .bin's

[dacssfreak]

Did you even look at the picture of my benchmark? My numbers are double of what you posted Ifani. Menoc postet a picture of his Komputerbay 64 GB 1000x card, and the numbers in the screenshot are the same.

What about Silicon Power 1000x? Where can i find benchamrks? Thnx

i couldn't see your benchmark test.
it seams to be private.
and you said something like you get 50mb/s in video mode, how can your write speed of the transcend 16gb 1000x be twice as high as mine?

[dacssfreak]

Try this one http://pl.vg/2dpya

@Ifani the 1000x isn't 'as slow as the 600x' it's actually slower

@Viente - Hey man, you got the 50d now?  As for the Silicon Power CF's I have no idea but from my research you need to buy 32GB and up if you're getting a 1000x speed card (although 128GB cards can be slow as is the case with the Komputerbay cards). 16GB 600x speed cards are generally faster than 1000x 16GB cards but they are not all the same. I had a Kingston 600x and it was a lot slower than my Transcend 16GB 600x. I checked both cards for alignment and both were ok but later discovered that the Kingston isn't using DMA (apparently) which would explain things.

Here are some benchmarks for (upto) 600x cards I found: http://en.gomemory.net/index.php?page=cf

The June 9th build works amazingly well for me. THANK YOU! Consistant, stable recording at 67 MB/s (KomputerBay 1000x 64). I still have the issue when I zoom in, I get a pink frame. Any fixes for that?

And also: I shoot with an anamorphic lens and in the past I've used the Anamorphic Preview setting - http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=3323.0 - Does anyone know if/how I can combine the anamorphic preview setting with Raw recording?

@Andy- any benchmark available for Lexar cards?

[Andy600]

@hijodeibn do a search on this forum. There are plenty of benchmarks for Lexar, Sandisk, Komputerbay etc. Also check out the card benchmark thread that @a1ex posted. It has graphs

[dacssfreak]

Hey Andy, if you take a look at how my Transcend 16GB 1000x performed at the ML benchmark, I doubt that the 16GB is actually slower. Take a look at that http://pl.vg/2dpya

[Ifani]

Try this one http://pl.vg/2dpya

thank you,
quite strange that mine had so low accounts.
i will try to format the card

It looks pretty close to my 600x benchmark so you should be hitting 60-65MB/s

I was going by the comparisons on the manufacturer's website :http://uk.transcend-info.com/Products/compare.asp?ck=406|252

1000x Write 70 MByte/s (16GB) / Write 120 MByte/s (32~128GB)
600x  Write 90 MByte/s (16~64GB)

Read speeds will of course be higher on 1000x cards.

Have you tried a benchmark in movie mode with LV and raw video enabled? Speeds will be less but more accurate of achievable raw video performance.

Also, have you tried Gregory's new upload? https://bitbucket.org/GregoryOfManhattan/magic-lantern/downloads (I'm getting slower benchmarks with this build for some reason and my batteries just died so I need to charge before trying it again)
